Parkin & Lewis create luxury leather gifts all made by hand in a small studio in South London. With a love of sewing and a passion for creating personalised gifts Joanna Lewis (previously Parkin) launched as a brand in late 2010. Joanna has always loved making things, right from the word go, she went on to do a degree in Multi-media Textiles. After working in a gorgeous silk shop in Soho and always having Wednesdays off (alone) she went onto design items in her spare time. She first started by making her Mum a make-up bag for her birthday. It went down so well that she made more and went on to do a small gift fair in East London where she was spotted by Notonthehighstreet.com and joined later that month. A year later it all took off and she left her 'proper' job to work on Parkin & Lewis full time. She has since gone on to develop a range of leather products for all different occasions. From gifts for sportsmen to cards for new babies. She hand-picks the highest quality fabrics and leathers to create these handmade designs which are lined with the finest materials to maintain quality both inside and out. Parkin & Lewis love working with leathers as they improve with age and are durable, which ensures the range of designs are made with quality and stand the test of time. The more you use your items, the more beautiful they will become. She has recently invested in a laser cutter which has taken things to another level. She has ventured experimenting with wood too.
